At the end of the day of teaching the skill of cutting and sewing to make capes, Ms. Ironperson and Mr. Thoro decided to go to the Shawarma Mediterranean Grill. Ms. Ironperson ordered 3 chicken shawarma wraps and 2 orders of spiced potatoes for a total bill of $42.95. Mr. Thoro ordered 5 chicken shawarma wraps and 4 orders of spiced potatoes for a total bill of $74.91. What is the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap? What is the cost of one order of spiced potatoes? If x denotes the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap and y denotes the cost of an order of spiced potatoes, what are the equations needed to solve this problem?

a) What is the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap?

$10.99

b) What is the cost of one order of spiced potatoes?

$4.99

c) If x denotes the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap and y denotes the cost of an order of spiced potatoes, what are the equations needed to solve this problem?

3x + 2y = $42.95 Equation 1

5x + 4y = $74.91 Equation 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap and y denotes the cost of an order of spiced potatoes,

Cost of a chicken sharwarma wrap = x

Cost of an order of spiced potatoes = y

Ms. Ironperson ordered 3 chicken shawarma wraps and 2 orders of spiced potatoes for a total bill of $42.95.

3x + 2y = $42.95 Equation 1

Mr. Thoro ordered 5 chicken shawarma wraps and 4 orders of spiced potatoes for a total bill of $74.91.

5x + 4y = $74.91 Equation 2

Hence, the Equations needed to solve the question is:

3x + 2y = $42.95 Equation 1

5x + 4y = $74.91 Equation 2

We use Elimination method to solve for this.

Multiply Equation 1 by coefficient of x in Equation 2

Equation 2 by coefficient of x in Equation 1

3x + 2y = $42.95 Equation 1 × 5

5x + 4y = $74.91 Equation 2 × 3

15x + 10y = 214.75Equation 3

15x + 12y = 224.73Equation 4

Subtract Equation 3 from Equation 4

2y = 9.98

y = 9.98/2

y = 4.99

Therefore, y = Cost of an order of spiced potatoes = $4.99

Subtitute 4.99 for y in Equation 1

3x + 2y = $42.95 Equation 1

3x +2(4.99) = 42.95

3x + 9.98 = 42.95

3x = 42.95 - 9.98

3x = 32.97

x = 32.97/3

x = 10.99

x = Cost of a chicken sharwarma wrap = $10.99

Therefore,

The cost of a chicken sharwarma wrap = $10.99

The cost of an order of spiced potatoes = $4.99

15%

step-by-step explanation:

use the table and count the number of guesses that has two correct answers.

the following are two correct answers

10010, 01100, 11000

a total of 3 numbers having 2 correct guesses out of 20 questions.

probability of getting 2 correct guesses = the number of questions getting 2 correct answers / total number of questions.

= 3/20

to convert it into percent multiply by 100, we get

= 3/20 * 100

= 15%

the answer is 15%

you.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get
